I met 3 people who are also from Vietnam today too. Julie & her daughter are from South Vietnam - they live in a rental here that's only 5 minutes from our home. Phanh is from North Vietnam & works on a farm in Metchosin. She's moving out to live on the farm soon, with her husband.

I also found out that River, the orchard coordinator, knows my good friend, Lyrica & her partner Talia too. They met at local Queer Crafternoon gatherings. Lyrica regularly attends those & River teaches some crafts at them. I'm going to attend some of them in near future as it's open to LGBTQ2S comrades & a few friends have invited me to go.
